xVictron MultiPlus 24/3000/70-50 230V VE.Bus Inverter Charger
The Victron MultiPlus 24/3000/70-50 is a combined inverter and battery charger in a single unit, designed for 24V battery systems. It delivers 3000VA of continuous inverter output and a 70A battery charger, making it suited to off-grid installations, marine and vehicle applications, and backup power systems where reliable AC output and efficient charging are both required.
Key Features
- 3000VA continuous inverter output with 230V AC output, suitable for standard UK and EU loads.
- 70A multi-stage battery charger with adaptive charge algorithm, compatible with a wide range of 24V battery chemistries.
- 50A AC transfer switch allows connection of a shore power or generator input, with near-instant switchover to inverter on loss of AC supply.
- PowerControl and PowerAssist functions limit the draw from shore or generator supply, supplementing it with battery power when demand exceeds the input current limit.
- VE.Bus communication interface enables parallel and three-phase configuration with multiple units, and full integration with Victron system monitoring and control products.
- Programmable relay and configurable settings via VEConfigure software for tailored system behaviour.
- Compact and well-proven design with a long track record in professional off-grid and backup installations.
Product Overview
The MultiPlus combines a true sine wave inverter with a sophisticated battery charger in one enclosure. The 70A charger uses an adaptive four-stage charge process (bulk, absorption, float, storage) and can be configured for different battery types including flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel and lithium. The 50A transfer switch connects a single AC input, typically a generator or shore supply, and passes it through to connected loads while simultaneously charging the batteries. On loss of that input, the unit switches to inverter mode in under 20 milliseconds, which is fast enough to keep most computers and sensitive equipment running without interruption.
VE.Bus is Victron's proprietary communication bus that allows multiple MultiPlus units to be connected together for split-phase, parallel or three-phase operation. It also allows integration with the Victron Color Control GX, Cerbo GX and other system monitors for full remote visibility and control. The PowerAssist feature is particularly useful where a generator or limited shore supply is in use: it prevents the AC input from being overloaded by drawing the balance of power required from the battery bank, effectively boosting the available AC capacity beyond what the input alone could supply.
At 18.85kg, this is a substantial unit intended for fixed installation. It is not a portable device. The unit operates from a 24V DC battery bank and outputs 230V AC at 50Hz, making it directly compatible with standard UK and European electrical loads.

Applications
- Off-grid cabins, lodges and rural properties requiring a reliable 230V AC supply from a 24V battery bank.
- Marine vessels needing shore power passthrough with automatic switchover to inverter when disconnected from the marina.
- Vehicle conversions (HGV, coach, expedition vehicle) where a high-capacity charger and inverter are required in a single unit.
- Backup power systems for critical loads such as communications equipment, medical devices or security systems.
- Generator-assisted off-grid systems where PowerAssist reduces generator runtime by supplementing output with stored battery energy.
What Is Included

Installation Notes
This unit must be installed by a qualified electrician or accredited installer. It involves connections to a 24V DC battery bank and 230V AC circuits, both of which present serious safety risks if wired incorrectly. For any installation forming part of a grid-connected or generator-fed system in the UK, compliance with BS 7671 wiring regulations is required. VE.Bus configuration and system setup should be carried out using Victron's VEConfigure software by a competent person familiar with Victron system design. Battery cabling must be appropriately rated for the high DC currents involved, and fusing must be installed as close to the battery terminals as practicable.
